What Is Medical Weight Loss? 

Medical weight loss is a physician-guided program that addresses the metabolic and hormonal factors that influence weight management. Unlike other weight loss programs, you’ll receive care from fully licensed medical professionals who will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment accordingly. 

Here, we focus on whole-body wellness over rapid weight loss or extreme physical changes. Our goal is to create sustainable progress and help you reach a healthy weight that supports your overall well-being. Many of our patients also experience emotional and mental changes, including a more positive self-image and increased confidence.

Dr Hostteter is super understanding and empathetic toward women going through menopause because she herself is one. She listens and believes that women are their own best advocates when it comes to their healthcare. She’s also careful to do the safest and lowest dose of hormones necessary to curb symptoms, which I appreciate.

I have had nothing but great experiences with this office. Before getting the pellets, I had issues with brittle hair, dry skin, sleepless nights, weight gain, mood swings, etc. Since getting the pellets, I have been much happier with my life, and my husband has been much more satisfied as well, if you know what I mean. You will not be disappointed, this place is top-notch.

After going through Menopause, I thought my body was literally falling apart. After receiving no help from my primary care doctor for a variety of symptoms such as insomnia, restless leg, muscle aches, and an overall feeling of fatigue, I found the help I was looking for here. After reviewing my labs, they discovered my hormone levels were extremely low. After getting my first pellet, I finally felt like my old self again!! The staff are incredibly kind and listen to any concerns or questions that you have. I drive over an hour to come here, and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

—J.R.

I have been seeing Dr Lucy for several years now. She is fantastic! Her knowledge of hormones and her ability to actually listen are unmatched by any other! I love my Bio Te hormones. I tell everyone about her... Why go through menopause and feel awful for years? Normal gynecologists and PCPs have no education on female hormones, and therefore, they can not help you! They may want to, but without the knowledge, they can't! Lucy has done the research and knows how to make you feel comfortable with your body again! Just go in for a consultation... Ask questions... Dr Hostetter has some answers for you. You will thank me later!

Going Deeper to Unlock Your Optimal Health 

As a dedicated wellness clinic in Tacoma, we understand that willpower and consistent effort don’t always translate into weight loss. For some patients, there are underlying health factors at play that go unaddressed, creating additional challenges and making weight management difficult. Some biological factors that may prevent weight loss include the following: 

  • Hormone imbalances
  • Slow metabolism
  • Digestive issues or disorders
  • Medication side effects 
  • Unknown food sensitivities or intolerances 

Our medical weight loss in Tacoma is designed to uncover and address the root causes of your weight fluctuations. By understanding how your body functions and responds to hormones, food, physical activity, and medications, we can provide comprehensive support and develop a medically based treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Weight Loss Injections

Weight Loss Injections

Weight loss injections help manage your appetite by regulating hormones related to hunger and fullness, and many patients utilize injections to jumpstart their weight loss and rebalance their metabolism. These medications are designed to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise routine, helping you maintain a stable weight over time.

Semaglutide Injections

Semaglutide injections work by interacting with specific receptors in the brain to reduce appetite and support gradual weight loss. Most patients steadily increase their dosage over several months, making semaglutide a more long-term weight loss program.

FAQs Medical Weight Loss

Is medical weight loss safe?

Yes. Our medical weight loss in Tacoma is guided by licensed medical professionals, and they’ll review your medical history and lab results before starting treatment to ensure you’re a suitable candidate.

How soon will I see results?

Result timelines will vary based on your individual health and lifestyle, but most patients begin noticing changes within the first few weeks. Our approach prioritizes sustainable, healthy progress over rapid loss, so it may take additional time to start seeing results.

How is medical weight loss different from traditional diet plans?

Medical weight loss goes beyond typical diet programs by targeting the underlying factors that can make weight loss difficult, such as hormone imbalances, slow metabolism, or medication side effects. Each plan is customized to your unique needs, closely monitored by medical professionals, and designed to promote lasting, healthy lifestyle changes instead of temporary results.

Can medical weight loss help if I’ve struggled with weight for years?

Yes. Medical weight loss is particularly helpful for patients who have tried traditional diets and exercise without success. By uncovering underlying causes, we can create a plan that works with your body, not against it.

Is medical weight loss suitable after pregnancy?

Yes. Many patients opt for medical weight loss to achieve a stable weight after giving birth. These medications should not be used while pregnant, so discuss your family planning with your provider to ensure it’s right for you.
